broome co hunting

[martin hunter]

so we now lease a piece of land in broome county. the area is shotgun only for deer. i was told that the area was rifle and now they changed it to shotgun last year or year before. Cannot find any info on if it was rifle or not in past. Doesnt really matter to me, actually like it shotgun only as i know bucks get a year  older on average in shotgun only areas. Anyone know the answer if it was rifle or not. Our land is near Lisle ny. This was our first season there so far took very nice buck with bow and 2 others with gun. thanks
